In washington State, the Multicare Health System uses "Ed Medics" at their Tacoma General Hospital, and Allenmore Hospital.
They operate as an LPN, more or less.
The rules defining their abilities are defined in part through the state "health care...
It really depends. For example, Anaheim Fire Department operates a paramedic unit out of Downtown Disney for EMS coverage in addition to a close by fire station . Additionally, Anaheim FD backs up Disneyland FD for in park fires. The system for Di...
Great Idea Mike. I am currently in Alabama but am willing to move just about anywhere for the right job. I do believe I may wait till I get my RN though. Looking at other schools around the nation, those who do have bridge programs have more gener...
Jolie, are you in the Nashville area? I work at Opryland. We don't transport -- NFD does that for us.
I'd guess other companies in the entertainment business (e.g. Disney, Six Flags) operate similarly.
That's a respectable wage. Medics here make 11 to 12... I'm looking around at all the suggested areas and I'm thinking I may have to grin and bear it until I get through Nursing school too. I still want to go somewhere that i can use both certific...
Ben, thanks for all the info. I am not looking to do any prehospital ems (due to bad motion sickness) so that throws out some of those hospitals. I looked at a hospital in Atlanta which from what I read allows medics to use most of their skills in...
Jolie,

The Parkridge Hospital system (Parkridge and Parkridge East in Chattanooga and East Ridge) use paramedics in the ED. Parkridge East has used ED paramedics...
Ben, can you name a few hospitals please.
Southeast Tennessee has several hospitals where paramedics perform their normal scope of practice - in other words, they're hired as paramedics, not as ED techs.
As Chance says, Tennessee basically allows paramedic scope of practice (field or ED)...
Thanks Blair, so your saying at Mount Nittany you not only work in the ER, you respond to ALS calls in a fly car? Any idea what the starting pay is in this position?

TheCannulator said… - Sorry for the late reply. We have Flight Medics with 5 Helos. A S&R component too. RN is a 3 year course. Most here go form RN to medic, with that being a 1 year conversion. So really with challenges that may be the possibility. All RN and Medic Courses are now University based.

Hi everyone, I have been working a Fly Car now for 2 years. I also like the concept. In fact, the hospital that I am working in (Bangkok, Thailand) is the only hospital base ambulance that operate this type of vehicle with multi-tasks.
If you work in a "fly car" or "first responder" this is the place for you. Say hello, get to know each other, share experiences good or bad. A good place to vent or just learn what we all do in our regions.
Very interestingly, how do you apply them (ice packs) on the patient ?
